The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This innovative feature empowers players with greater control and strength over their armies, revolutionizing the gameplay experience.

At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, a pivotal hub where they can contract and recruit formidable mercenary units. These elite warriors come with their own unique technologies, which players can unlock and upgrade, enhancing their effectiveness on the battlefield.

Each mercenary group boasts a distinct set of special skills that can turn the tide of battle:

Byzantine Cataphract:

• Increase the damage of all hero skills of the army by [2%]
• After the troops inflict skill damage, all damage received by our troops is reduced by [3.5%] for [3] seconds

Swiss Pikeman:

• Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

Korean Archer:

• Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

To kickstart your journey with these powerful allies, players can secure their first Mercenaries for free by participating in a new event, currently live alongside the system's introduction.

The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* opens up exciting "What if" scenarios, allowing players to mix and match their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions into battle, or Hannibal commanding Japan Samurai. These unique combinations enable players to craft innovative strategies and tactics, paving their way to conquer adversaries and build the grandest empire imaginable.
